BOYS’ BASKETBALL: Buckley Coppin-Carter out with ankle injury

Buckley is in Las Vegas this week for a tournament, but the Griffins (10-3) already are enduring some bad luck. Leading scorer Tyler Coppin-Carter is out with a sprained ankle, and he could miss up to two weeks – meaning Coppin-Carter might not return in time for a nonleague showdown Tuesday at L.A. Price, a challenge that’s been circled as Buckley’s biggest game of the season.

“He’s just starting to walk today,” Hamilton said. “I hope to have him back by Price.”

Hamilton said Buckley’s spirits are up because Duke football player Blair Holliday, brother of Buckley guard Chase Holliday, has been accompanying the team. The elder Holliday is recovering after being severely injured July 4 in a jet-ski accident.

“The team is inspired,” Hamilton said.

Also, Renaissance Academy’s Marquise Mosley, a sophomore guard who leads the team with a 12.9 scoring average, returns after missing two weeks because of a sprained ankle.

The Wildcats are 11-4 heading into a nonleague game at 3:30 p.m. Saturday against Los Osos (10-4) at El Camino Real, and Renaissance Academy coach Sid Cooke said the team has made the most of Mosley being gone.

“Other players have had a chance to get more minutes to improve, and I believe that will help us be a better team,” Cooke said.
